I keep thinking about how skinny and slow Collingworth was in his day. Then I like to think about him taking a hit like Cutler did. In my mind, he doesn't get up.
Winston Churchill: "Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak."
"If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain."
I can stomach Collinworth when he calls game, but when Joe Buck calls a game I want to put my fist through the TV and ring his gay scrawny neck. Joe Theisman, Jerry Glandville, John I suck favre Madden are far worse We could bring back Dennis Miller and have him call games.
Honestly I don't think he is that bad yet I think fans chime in on comments when the announcer is praising the other team and take them wrong. Even John Gruden can be annoying with his man crush on players.
I disagree with the whole premise of this..I don't really find (m)any announcers to be annoying, and WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT THEM TO SAY IN THOSE SPOTS? There is a lot of down time in football games, or if the game is slow, you gotta fill in the blanks here and there. Not everything anyone says is gonna be gold, why would you expect different from a football broadcaster? The only sportscaster that I've ever really liked listening to was Harry Caray, but that may be because he was an alcoholic. If I'm by myself watching the game, and don't wanna hear it, turn music on; if i'm over at a friends', we're talking crap too much to pay attention to the broadcaster, and finally if we're at a bar or restaurant watching it, it's not like it matters, because there are a million people talking, anyway.

Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.

Well guess what Mr. poo poo head. Bob Dylan thinks you're a meany and I've played catch with Henry Burris before! The real one.
On the real though, I just hate Collinsworth for some reason. He gets right under my skin, I HATE HIM.
Conversely, I love Barkley when he is on and Gruden for their inappropriateness.
I always tell people I want to live to be 150 and they say "why would you want to do that?" I say, "well, there's a few people I haven't made mad yet, I want to get them." - "Iron" Mike Ditka
